It bothers me that my antivirus software (Symantec 2004 Pro) didn't catch it. My subscription is paid up, and my virus definitions up to date.

I received 2 yesterday & 2 today. I deleted them immediately after doing a bit of research stating that when the attachment is opened, it is actually malware.
